NiceHash has been down since morning. Previously when it went down it was for a short period of time only but today it's been down for long time. At least my L3+s were rented out on miningrigrentals at a price 20-25% higher than NiceHash. As the NiceHash was down for long time I started to look for quick and easy alternatives so gave WinMiner a try. Income from Vega card is a lot less, nVidia and rest of AMD cards are not far off what was on NiceHash but it's hard to compare with NiceHash being down at the moment. Winminer does not want to work correctly on my Microserver. WinMiner also allows to withdraw USD to PayPal account.

Might give that one a try. Thanks for posting
It is unusual for NiceHash to be down for so long. The longest outage I've ever experienced was probably about 3 hours. Lot of angry people posting on their Twitter page now, some demanding to be compensated for all the free money they're missing out on!

Not a big deal for me since my BT line is also broken today, and I still haven't got the Vega rig stable either. I'm not going to miss the 60p that the GTX960 hasn't earned today.

There's the same statement on Nicehash's homepage too. At least I've only lost £20 of GTX960 earnings, since the Vega rig won't work.
I'm trying Minergate at the moment - very poor hash rates on the Vegas, and I can't get xmr-stak to connect to the pool. To quote someone on the Nicehash reddit page: "We mined so hard, and got so far - but in the end it doesn't even matter" Last edited by MikkiJayne; 6th December 2017 at 10:36 PM. |

I tried Minergate. Odd software and I really wasn't sure about them!
Been playing with that winminer. The portable version keeps it all nicely in one folder. Found a better cryptonight algorithm in there too, which i've now copied the miner and running with my suprnova pool Also came across this one in a youtube vid, but haven't had time to check it out! https://miningpoolhub.com/ Generally preferring Ethos over Windows this last month, but thought i'd switch back over (pull the usb stick) and see how the new things i'd mined worked on windows. BTG definitely better on Ethos, but so far ETN is looking good on Windows, though my cards are a higher temp! As for Nicehash.....people have been warned and warned about leaving things on servers, though given the amount the crooks either swiped the Nicehash bank or had a lot of time to sweep users. I'm guessing the former and WHAT company leaves that sort of exposure online ???

Presently I'm using Prohashing for my L3+ miners, KanoPool for my S9 and poolmining.org for my D3. I've just started trialling WinMiner for my GPU rigs -- seems ok so far but I'm not sure if the earnings are as high as they were on NiceHash.

WinMiner was working fine for me at the start yesterday, I was expecting £25-30 per day but as more people jumped over from NiceHash at first live dashboard stopped working. Then my balance was up to $7, 1 hour later down to $5, income rate went down, miners were loosing connection as well. In total it has earned about £14 in 22hrs, it's still profit considering that I did not use more than £5 in electricity for it but not great. I am sure it's to do with unexpected sudden increase of users that they could not scale up fast enough. I have switched my AMD cards to mine Electroneum directly now. Left nVidia cards on Winminer for now as have not decided what to mine with them but it's disconnected most of the time. According to whattomine.com Electroneum should bring me over $50 per day with less than $5 electricity costs with the hashrate I am getting from 9x RX4*0/5*0 + 1x Vega 56.
L3+ are getting rented out on miningrigrentals, I was afraid more hashing power sellers will move over there and rates will go down but it looks like more buyers moved over there than sellers so rates are up and instead of getting 20-30% more than on NiceHash I am now getting 40-50% more. When not rented out they will fall back to prohashing but is quite low payout there. D3 only arrived yesterday eveneing and only tested it out today, I was going to use suprnova pool but for now pointed it to poolmining.org. Seems to be working OK, will let it run till tomorrow, then try modified firmware and possibly mine Monacocoin directly with it which should be about 50% more profitable than Dash.

https://whattomine.com/asic Is currently showing BTC as the best bet, probably because today it spiked up *AGAIN*. Bit odd after the Nicehash thing? Last week it was saying BCH! However I do wonder about chucking a day into one or two of the high yeild coins. Less profit now, but huge growth to hold and not much lost if they don't! Lee
